"eddie bear!" sonia kaspbrak calls for her son, the overweight woman was making eggs and bacon. eddie arose from his slumber smelling the amazing scent of food.

at first, the freckled boy laid awake in surprise that his, normally angry, mother made food for him to eat. but then his expression changed and eddie basked in the thought that maybe sonia kasprack was getting better. maybe she was turning around and realized her abusive ways.

eddie jumped down the stairs in joy, his long checkered pajamas hung loosely on the small boy and the pink pajama shirt he was wearing was big enough to drown in. his sock-less feet met with the cold hard-wood floor that sent shivers down eddies spine as he continued walking. eddie approaches the food his table chair already pulled out for him, she sat down comfortably squishing around a bit.

"thanks mommy!" eddie smiled taking his fork and plunging it into the cut scrambled eggs. eddie wanted to savor the taste, wanted to enjoy the first breakfast his mother had cooked for him in a long time, but the want just brought dissatisfaction as the eggs tasted bitter. yes, they had been salted, yes, they had pepper on them, yet the taste didnt enhance. just dull and boring and.. familiar. it tasted like medicine.

"mommy, what's in the eggs?" eddie asked on a low tone, scared to accidentally get him mother angry with him.

"eat your food eddie-bear. i have a fun day planned." the mother said not looking at her child.

"what's in the eggs mommy?"

to this, the woman didn't answer, she simply repeated what she had said
"eat your food, eddie."

eddie complied.

A few bites and crunches later eddie was finished with his plate, he felt sick, he felt like he needed to vomit. sonia told him to get upstairs and get ready for the day so the small boy did what he was told. he went upstairs and grabbed a yellow shirt with a green car on the front that he paired with red shorts, long white socks and his deodorant. the boy didn't make his mother wait long, he just brushed his teeth and washed his face but sonia was tapping her watch like it was the civil war and a doctor was coming to saw his legs off. eddie grabbed his red high top vans and walked out the door with his mother, she was smiling.

"what're we doing today, mommy?" eddie asked pulling on his seatbelt.

"i'm meeting someone at the amusement park. i picked that location for our meeting because i figured you would want to go." she pulled out of her driveway.

*

eddie sat on a bench by the entrance of the amusement park, he stuck his finger through the holes in the bench to entertain himself. sonia strictly told him that if he wanted to go on any rides he'd have to go on little kid rides. eddie contemplated going on big rides without his mother's permission because, she wasn't even here right now, but he decided against it. it's not that eddie was scared, he didn't care about how many loops a ride has or how fast it went, he just wanted to have fun. yet eddie sat on the bench, wasting his day away.

all of eddies thoughts subsided when he heard a particularly loud voice that he could recognize anywhere. the trashmouth.

'trashmouth tozier' eddie thought and smiled,
he wanted to walk up to him and walk around with him, but the tozier boy caught eddie off guard, eddie was staring at his tall skinny frame, the way his hair bounced while he walked, his smile. oh my god his smile. eddie felt like he was floating looking at richies natural beauty, he didn't want to stop staring eddie wanted to look at richie forever. but suddenly richie started running and that's when eddie saw him.
he saw connor bowers reaching out his hand trying to hold richies.

eddies stomach dropped, he didn't know why but he was angry. connor bowers? seriously, richie?
but eddie let it go and he continued poking his finger through the bench. he let his head fall back and he closed his eyes as if to sleep like a homeless man. yet he didn't, he kept his ears wide open trying to hear richies laugh. but richie was our of reach until eddie heard it.

"c'mon!" richie yelled loud enough for the whole park to hear. eddie whipped his head up to see richie pulling connor by the hand to the ride everyone knew as 'the joker'

eddie shut his eyes trying to sit still, he tried to relax for about three minutes but when he opened his eyes he saw himself walking towards the spinning green ride. shocked but not surprised. eddie supposed he could just sit on a bench and watch them ride the ride and hopped they'd spot him when they got off. he wouldn't mind seeing connor as long as richie was there, richie would make sure he wasn't left out.

but everything changed when eddie watched the ride swing backwards, the saw a giant creature following the cart and then saw it break the entire ride in half. eddie screamed as he tried to shut his eyes but couldn't, watching as the cart flew off the ride and aiming toward the ground. they were falling so fast, just like he was that one night.

faster than eddie could think some kid shouted out loud "is that iron man!"

eddies chest lifted, he saw iron man save richie and connor, just in time too. eddie backed up, not wanting richie to know what he just witnessed, he didn't want to be there anymore.

everyone's focus wasn't on richie or connor or the cart, not even the tumbling ride, everyone was focused on the black figure that was now crashing the park. eddie felt as if he was stuck to the ground, he couldn't move his little legs to get himself out of there even though his life depended on it. eddie just watched in horror as the silhouette smashed the food stand, then the lockers and was heading towards the bathroom.

eddie looked in the direction the silhouette was heading towards, eventually it would step onto the cart connor and richie flew out of, eddie saw connor on the ground crying not paying attention. eddie slowly but surely gained his leg use again and ran toward connor and richie, but richie wasn't there. eddie knee there was no time

"connor!" he yelled "get out of there!" the foot was coming closer and closer to crushing him out of existence, the shadow covered connors entire body. before the food came any closer to the ground iron man held it up with his hands. with almost no time left eddie held out his hand to speed up the process. connor looked up and grabbed eddies hand, pulling himself up so hard eddie got thrown back from how small and light he was compared to connor. eddie landed to the ground with a thud, he looked up and saw the giant foot over him that was going to fall at any moment. iron mans grip was slipping and eventually lost. the foot came crashing down, eddie shut his eyes, he had done the right thing.. he had saved someone instead of himself just like spiderman would've.

well, speak of the devil, spiderman jumped in front of eddie and held up the foot with all the strength he had
"go!" the suited boy screamed, eddie didn't hesitate when he slipped from underneath the foot with spiderman throwing the foot making the silhouette wobble and fall to the ground.
spiderman quickly came up to eddie
"eddie? oh my god, eddie!" he screamed and wrapped the shaking boy in a hug.

"i.. i saved the boy over there, he was trapped under the foot before me."

"i know, you did the right thing but you put yourself in danger, eds! promise me to never do that again." spiderman held eddies shoulders firmly in front of him. looking the short boy dead in the eyes, eddie into his big masked ones.

"i promise spidey, but right now i think you have a fight to win." eddie giggled, with one hand richie picked up eddies soft, small hand and with the other lifted his mask up abound his lips and pressed a small kiss onto eddies hand.

"make sure to watch how cool i'm about to look right now" richie gave eddie his best fingerguns and swung up into the air eye level with the silhouette.

"it's on, fucker."
